I agree, but teams like the Bucks, Raptors, Suns (using the Wizard's pick), etc. can afford to gamble on Skal
Official Skal Labissiere Hype Thread
- Thread starter I AM WARHOL
- Start date
Y'all have to see these guys play in college before you get an accurate assumption. Most of these guys are way overrated
Nah, this dude is a special case, he dominated at the Hoop Summit and was by far the best player there. His fall from grace is pretty much unprecedented, you very rarely have a guy pegged as the top 1 or 2 pick, drop damn near out the lottery like this. He is the biggest disappointment from a talent standpoint I have ever seen, he has offensive skills and he has the length to be a shot blocker, but he seemingly doesn't know how to play basketball and just shrank when times got hard.
Yeah I remember his highlight tapes. But you can tell who has "it" in college and who doesn't. I never get hyped off these McDonald's all Americans because they're all the same basically. Most of these guys aren't that good and just finesse based off of a "high ceiling"
i never saw a top 3 projected kid look so weak, a walk on could have put up 6/3/1.5
That's not true, going by College is how Thomas Robinson was picked before Andre Drummond, it's hard to tell who has it and who doesn't until they get to the league. The thing with Skal is he ticks all the boxes of what a top 5 pick has been the last few years, except he's just really really bad at basketball. But, in a workout setting he's incredible, get him doing drills, get him in the combine and he looks like a top 5 pick, then you roll the ball out and tell him to play 5 on 5 and he's
and straight garbage water.He's basically Darko except people found out now, before the NBA.
It makes no fukking sense how bad he is, mobile 7 footer with a jumper.....and he's just awful.
Can you tell me how the Raptors can afford to gamble on a potential bust ?

Good points. If he has a good workout combine he might still go high because this draft is weak and it's going to look weaker because of the strength of last years class . It might be 2013 all over again

Biggest disappointment of the Cal era just physically wasn't ready this year of strength training should do wonders for him
low bball IQ has to be one factor, and he plays pretty soft. its ironic that their 5'9 point guard will make or break 2016 UK while Cal is packing the 5* center's bags

I almost NEVER say this but he need to stay in school. Would help dude alot. He started showing flashes in the last month or so.
The assistant coach at UK has proved he's good with big me. Kenny Payne would have Skal right....
